Anyone with enough social experience can easily guess that the Gint played by Kevin Spacey is Caesar Susie. It has nothing to do with the actors. Even if a million people play the role of Gint, I can Guessed that "he" was Caesar Susie for the first time. Because this is based on a basic survival logic -
In most conspiracies, the ultimate winner is the conspiracy maker.
Apparently, Gint was the only beneficiary of the whole thing - the only one who survived (life gain) and the 90 million that disappeared (money gain). Based on that, I wasn't fooled by Gint's narrative from start to finish, but that didn't stop me from watching the show with relish, because, for some things, even if you know the ending from the start, you're still The wonderful story structure attracts. For example, in Agatha Christie's "No Survivor", we knew from the beginning that the ten people would die on Soldier Island, but it strongly attracted us to explore the process.
Caesar Susie is a legendary gangster who likes to hide behind the scenes and manipulate everything. But he often walks by the river without getting his shoes wet. Finally, one day, he was approached by the opponent, but in order to continue to hide his identity, he shot and killed all the people at the scene (including the opponent and his wife) without hesitation. sons and daughters), except for the one who was put back to report. There are two problems here:
1. Why do you want to leave a person to go back and report the letter?
Because since the other party can send a wave of people, they can send a second wave of people. It is meaningless to kill all the opponents on the scene.
2. Why did you kill your wife and children?
With the exposure of relatives, relatives are no longer relatives, but the weak underbelly that can be threatened. Caesar Susie is obviously more cruel than Liu Bei's hero who regards "wives are like clothes". Children are also clothes. .
Although the weakness was removed and the opponent was deterred, Caesar Susie finally revealed his identity. The opponent and the security department did not decide to give up. Soon, an important witness (who could testify against Caesar Susie in person) will be extradited and brought to justice. Appearing in court will undoubtedly put him in the dilemma of sitting in prison.
Caesar Susie, who was cruel enough to kill his relatives without hesitation, of course would not easily admit defeat, but he was seriously damaged and could not kill the witnesses. Besides, the witnesses had the protection of opponents and a huge amount of funds for activities behind them. If you want to kill the witnesses, He needs a team, a perfect team.
Under normal circumstances, when you need a team, you just need to find players and make a bid (that $90 million), even if you want to pocket the money afterwards, it is not bad to have a black and white, but this time it is not so. Easy, because there is a central figure in the team - Keaton, an ex-criminal who has washed his hands and plans to live a normal life with his lawyer girlfriend, and Caesar Susie knows that no price can impress him.
So, he used his new identity, Gint, to plan a "fraud case of "the robbery of police firearms transport vehicle" through the police, bringing together what he thought was the perfect team members, and through clever language and Action to create momentum, to create a kind of awareness for Keaton - you were a criminal, you will be a criminal all your life, if you want to make a change, let's go to the next life.
As a result, a new criminal team was formed. While waiting for the witness to be extradited (6 months), they also did a few small cases-practice, run the team, make Keaton deeper and deeper, and lead to the final clue. - Kill four birds with one stone.
Note why Keaton is the central character here because he has two important characteristics:
1. Keaton is a think tank type criminal, and his actions are inseparable from his brain and calmness, and Keaton has a good reputation in the circle, making him trustworthy
2. Keaton is a former police officer, and this identity makes the entire police system hate him to the core, making him the best target of ridicule. Its direct effect is that the customs commissioner David, under the premise of interrogating Jint, has determined that Keaton is Caesar Susie, which is exactly what Jint needs.
It does not seem that this crime is profound, but exploits the emotions and prejudices inherent in human nature.
But Jint's performance has just begun. During the process of being questioned by David, almost every word he said came from the on-site reaction-whether it was lawyer Kobayashi, or the experience of the chorus, or some names. All the material comes from the messy bulletin boards on the walls of the police station.
Even the behavioral habits he's displayed for 6 months - lameness, right-handedness, cowardice, greed, friendship and dependence on Keaton are all show and disguise.
A perfect event = careful planning + perfect performance + live response.
It's not just a crime, it's the formula for success in all events.
I think this is the reason why the film has been famous for decades.
